I want you to look at these two photos very closely. Which one did you initially think was more attractive? Do you think you'd feel comfortable showing others a photo like the one on the right? Even your closest friend? Do you find it beautiful, ugly, neutral, or does it make you uncomfortable? If yes, maybe ask yourself why. Why do people feel so uncomfortable seeing photos of men and women embracing their natural poses and frames? Maybe it reminds us of what our bodies look like too and what we're conditioned is not acceptable and should be smoothed down and "fixed."

So here's my body. It's the same exact body in each photo. The difference lies in our perception of these "flaws" that we all have. 🌼

It's okay if you don't find it beautiful. It will still exist and go on. It will still be mine and I will still appreciate it. It will still be beautiful to me. And that is enough.
